Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Robert M.

Although Penal Law § 480.00 applies only to felony convictions, theforfeiture in this matter, where the special narcotics indictment charged defendant withmisdemeanors, was authorized by CPL 220.50 (6), because it was an agreed uponcondition of a plea to an indictment (see People v Escaloria, 119 AD3d 707 [2d Dept2014&rsqb). We have considered and rejected defendant's remaining arguments.Concur—Sweeny, J.P., Andrias, Saxe, DeGrasse and Gische, JJ.
